Re descent of the Berkeley family of Berkely Castle from King John.
Repy to Don Stone: thanks for the information about Richard Fitzroy.

I also think the family are decended from Isabella of Angouleme and
Hugh le Brun.
Burkes Extinct & Dormat Peerage gives a Maurice de Berkeley married
1240 to Isabel daughter of Maurice of Credonia by Isabel sister of
William de Valence.
I have an Isabella de Lusigan (sister of WIlliam de Valence) maried
to Maurice of Craon, but no information about their children. Can any
one verify that there was a daughter Isabella who maried Maurice de
Berkeley?
